Summary: One of the most predictable movies I've ever seen.
Review: Good filmmaking requires a satisfying total package. This movie only delivers in certain aspects. It has good acting, but a bad script. Good choreography but little character development. Good sound effects, but bad sound track. And so very predictable. I kept expecting that the director would throw some kind of twist in there somewhere, but it never came.And there's another problem. You really don't feel for any of these characters. You couldn't care less what happens to any of them. Rhames' character steals the show, but never really gets the audience to hate him(a villain's job) because whether or not he committed a crime is questionable and his only other fault seems to be a big ego. Snipes'(supposedly the movie's hero) is seen even less than Rhames and even less sympathy is built for him because it is obvious that he did commit murder and all he ever does is sit around by himself in silence. This is what you call 0 character development. If the filmmakers were trying to build a Rocky-like charisma and audience appeal for the guy, they failed miserably. The end result is a boxing match that is cool, but the excitement just isn't there because you don't really care who wins. I know this film isn't trying to be Rocky, but it certainly pales in comparison. This film is forgettable at best.

Summary: Great acting and wonderful drama that nobody went to see.
Review: I am a big fan of Ving Rhames and Wesley Snipes. I really think they both did a wonderful job in this movie. Ving Rhames is a powerful actor in every role and he did not miss a step in this movie. I like the way Wesley Snipes was a strong not loud character. The movie did not make you feel sorry for the two of them. It is just a story about two very different strong men who enter into a fight to get what they both want. It was a great movie that everyone should have went to see. The ending was great.

Summary: A bit disappointing.
Review: I don't know what movies some of these critics have watched, but the final fight scene was left wanting. What kinds of World Heavyweight champions and undefeated prison champions don't know how to play defense? Now granted a real boxing fight between two greats may be a bit long and boring or last all of 30 seconds. I just didn't think the fight was all that great.
As for the movie, great story idea, but seemed like there should have been more to it. I believe Snipes' character was meant to look like the silent bad-a$$ loner, but he came across as a weirdo. I found myself cheering for the "Iceman" from the get go. Plus, I'm pretty sure that if he weren't a paper champion (which he wasn't portrayed as) he would have produced a shellacking on Monroe inside of the first couple of minutes. I actually liked the film for a testosterone-filled action flic, but the ending just didn't grab me and make me cheer for the tooth-pick architect.
I recommend this as a rental maybe once, but it's definitley not a classic.

Summary: Waiting for the storyline to improve
Review: I spent the whole movie waiting to see some character development or for the plot to improve. It was hard for me to empathize with either one of the characters because the writing was so bad. The climax of the film was very predictable. What a disapointment. I was really looking forward to seeing these good actors work together, they should have waited for a better script.

Summary: UNDISPUTED is Down for the Count
Review: It's hard to get excited about a film where one of the lead characters spends most of the movie in solitary confinement making Japanese huts from toothpicks, but that's what you are in for when you see UNDISPUTED. This could be one of the longest "short" movies ever. Featuring a runtime around the ninety minute area, this feels more like a half hour TV show stretched into a feature film. There's not even a clear identification into just how bad the bad guy is and just how good the good guy is. I didn't know who I was routing for until the movie was almost over. The film does feature a bit of comic relief from time to time, but if you are looking for a dramtic film centering around boxing, you'll find that this film is neither. I took an exit poll after the screening was over, and to my amazement, there seems to be a considerable difference in tastes among the races. Almost ever single caucasion disliked the film, while almost all of the African Americans loved it. I have never seen a racial split quite so much regarding a film, but that was definitely the case at the screening that I attended. So, just because the film didn't meet my tastes, doesn't mean that it won't meet yours!

Summary: UNDISPUTEDLY the wackest film.....
Review: Let me begin by saying that I didn't buy this DVD but watched it on Cable. I'm writing this review to deter folks from buying the DVD. It was a waste of time completely. Had I gone to see this film in theatres I would've been disappointed immensely. The plot was so dumb. If Columbo could get Ving Rhames out of prison, why couldn't he get Wesley out, better yet why couldn't he get himself out??? How dumb is that? This should have been a tv movie at best, never hit the big screen. Rhames and Snipes are two decent actors, too bad they weren't allowed to show any acting abilities from this poorly written script.

Summary: rather disappointing
Review: Let me tell yall why, because of the previews and the way the movie was described of the case I was expecting this movie to be loaded with boxing. This movie was kind of weak. I did enjoy the fight towards the movie. Lets get to the story it's about a ten year undefeated champ who is in prison for being conviceted of murder(SNIPES)and a boxer in for a rape charge(RHAMES). It's a good thing I only rented this. This just should teach to rent before you buy a movie if you have not seen it in a theater or just watch the movie on TV. Im not saying don't see the movie if you want to than do so. Just rent it before you buy it. I'm Out. PEACE!

Summary: Highly entertaining.
Review: Looking over several of the poor reviews is rather surprising, unless you hate the violence promoted by boxing. This is a really good boxing movie. You have a Mike Tyson-like character who winds up in prison duking it out with a modest hard lifer in a real prison with hundreds of real convicts for extras. It's interesting to watch from 2 perspectives, boxing itself and prison. However, it's definitely a movie for the guys.

Summary: Pretty Good!
Review: Not great, but entertaining enough that you don't get bored. Ving Rhames shows why he's one of the top actors in the business. Peter Falk's performance was truly good as it was hilarious as an aging mobster. Great scratchy voice gave him that old mobster/mafia feel. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see much of Wesley Snipes. I thought Walter Hill could have gotten more into why Snipes' character was incarcerated for murder from the start instead of the thirty second snippet of him beating a man up for apparently sleeping with his wife/girlfriend. We all knew why "Iceman" (Ving Rhames) was in prison from the start, from the middle, and from the end. Since I'm a boxing enthusiast, I was left with the question of whether or not an actual heavyweight or middleweight champ in the prison circuit could actually beat a known champion on the outside? Ving Rhames and Peter Falk were entertaining enough that an otherwise boring cliched film turned out to be worth watching. I've wasted my money on far worse with worse acting. So I give this Three stars.
